Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

Our favorite thing about space is space and we flipped for joy to see that Friday has three birthdays for space friends: Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut; Tom Baker, the Doctor; and DeForest Kelley, the other doctor! They are the best. The best at space. Ooh. Ooh! Did we mention we have new space products? Go look! Quick, before the space cops get you!

Ever wonder what Batman is really doing whilst sailing around Gotham? He's listening to his tunes, and not just with any ear buds. Bruce is using his Superhero Earbuds--specifically his Batman Earbuds. They have a no tangle cords, bass enhancement, and a terrific sound. But that's not all. Superman has Superman Earbuds, Wonder Woman has Wonder Woman Earbuds, Flash has Flash Earbuds, Green Lantern has Green Lantern Earbuds, and Green Arrow... well, he doesn't need earbuds since he can listen to Black Canary's dulcet tones. Also, he doesn't have an MP3 player.Superhero Earbuds - For super tunes

If your New Year's Resolution was to stock up on coffee mugs, you're in luck. We have 4 new Doctor Who mugs this week. For the artsy Whovian, there's the Van Gogh exploding TARDIS mug. Fans of UNIT (and/or the amazing Martha Jones) will love the UNIT logo mug. If you've always fancied yourself a time lord, you can drink from the High Council of Time Lords mug. And for your most stressful meeting of the week, you'll want to sip from a mug that says Keep Calm, I'm The Doctor. Allons-y!Doctor Who Mugs - A mug for every Whovian

We love garlic in our food, but we hate having to mince it up. The Garlic Zoom makes us happy inside. Just insert one or two peeled cloves in the trapdoor on top, close it up, and then drive your Zoom around the countertop. The stainless steel blades whizz around inside, slicing and dicing the garlic. When the pieces appear to be the right size, just open Zoom back up, carefully remove the blade, and dump your minced garlic into your recipe. Say goodbye to stinky garlic hands and hello to stinky garlic breath! Yum.Garlic Zoom - Fun & easy garlic mincing

Scientists and smart people say that hands are an evolutionary marvel. Well, call us crazy, but sometimes we wish we had octopus tentacles--actually they're octopus arms, technically speaking. We want to be able to open jars underwater like octopi and use shells as shields and pilot Intergalactic Molluscian Battle-Cruisers from beyond the stars. Sigh. But now, at least we can pretend with a pair of these Inflatable Tentacle Arms. Blow 'em up and get all tentacle-y (well, arm-y, technically speaking) on everyone. Just don't do anything gross with them, 'cause we know what some of you were thinking.Inflatable Tentacle Arm - Inflatable suckers

The Fisher Price iPhone case lets you hand off your precious device to your even more precious little one without fear. Your device locks securely inside, protecting it from dribbles, drips, drools, and teething. There are two ways to dock your device: one way locks away the Home button to prevent baby from calling your boss just at the moment you're telling your spouse about how much your job sucks. The other way keeps the Home button free if you have a toddler who knows how to switch between their favorite apps. Best of all, Fisher Price offers free learning apps in the App Store.Fisher Price iPhone Case - Laugh & learn apptivity!

While the real Doomhammer was composed of solid granite on an oak handle, our warehouse monkey threatened mutiny if they had to lift them. (Monkeys aren't nearly as strong as orcs, it seems.) So we had to settle for the LARP-variety Foam Doomhammer. Designed with WoW geeks and LARPers in mind, the Foam Doomhammer is made of polyurethane with PVC tube piping to make it strong yet lightweight. Experience the thrill of Thrall while wielding this impressive 22-inch long weapon.Foam Doomhammer - Bring doom to your enemies

As we see it, there are only two ways we'll get the zombie army we desire. Either we can sit around and wait until the spores we've sent out in bags of "monkey breath" hatch and do their thing, or we can get this kit and make our own. Sure, this kit takes some time and skill, but you know what they say: the best zombies are the ones you paint yourself! Pick the level of decomposition you want, tatter up the clothes, and make some one-of-a-kind zombie figures (each kit will make three full zombies). Oh, and the spore thing was just a joke, of course. Breathe deeply!DIY Zombie Customizable Action Figure Kit - DIY Apocalypse

Dipping quills in ink and scratching marks in parchment therewith was the writing standard for upwards of 1,300 years--until the invention of the metal-tip fountain pen in the 19th century. Since then, quill usage has mostly disappeared from normal usage and that's a shame. There's something visceral about scribbling with a quill, but modern sensibility prevails. Our new graphite quill marries old-school writing with modern materials in a comfortable and surprisingly practical instrument!Inkless Metal Quill - Modernize ancient writing

We loved our old Boogie Board, but lamented its lack of a Save feature. What if we drew something AMAZING and wanted to keep it? Now we can! The Boogie Board Rip LCD Writing Tablet combines the exceptional, paper-like writing experience of the regular Boogie Board with the ability to save your work and export it to a computer. The Boogie Board Rip will store 8 MB worth of files (that's about 200 saved images), so you can take your meeting notes, your artwork, or your design specs, then use the included USB cable to move them over to your computer and edit them however you like.Boogie Board Rip - Rip your doodles via USB

If you think you could give Starbuck a run for her money, maybe it's time to claim the Top Gun Beer Stein for yourself. This hefty trophy is reserved only for Galactica's top gun Viper pilot and bears the names of those who held the honor before you, including Starbuck and Kat. The 1:1 scale replica stands 9 inches tall and 4.75 inches wide at the base. Fill it with beer, coffee, or delicious Ambrosia and toast your fellow Viper jocks.Battlestar Galactica Top Gun Beer Stein - Are you an ace pilot?

We love Android phones, but the unfortunate reality is that there are just too many models for us to be able to stock cases and accessories for all of them. But we keep looking, because we love Android (and you). Lo and behold, we found this amazing speaker dock that is compatible with your Android phone. As long as your phone has a micro USB port and a headset jack, you can dock it to this speaker and enjoy your tunes at a distance, using the included remote to adjust the volume, skip tracks, mute, and more.Android Speaker Dock with Remote - OMG, AN ANDROID THING!
